I just with there was a bit less Trey, a little more of the other guys, and it didn't make the fans look like complete morons.

I think that the director kind of made that the point of the film somewhere in post production. I'm not sure that was the point at the beginning of the process, but the final product certainly doesn't portray the band in a positive or even neutral light.

rickythepenguin:Clash: Westway To the World. A bit hard to find but amazing. watching Joe talk about how he farked it up is heartbreaking. he's talking about how firing Mick was dumb. the heartbreak on his face and his voice is palpable. And also when Topper admits that even if he had the chance to do it differently, he wouldn't. he says something like, "i know drugs farked it up for me but......i would make those mistakes again, because......that's the kind of person i am." bizarre and sad but astonishing.

Agreed.

The Cramps: Live at Napa State Mental Hospital is fun to watch.

I am a big fan of Pink Floyd: Pompeii. Not a concert film but a live show.

I'm surprised there's not mention of Nirvana or Alice in Chains Unplugged in TFA or this thread. I think they're both generally interesting more for the novelty, though the former seems like it would be the mandatory Nirvana entry.

The Last Waltz is excellent and appropriately placed. If you've never really listened to much by The Band, I HIGHLY suggest finding a copy of this documentary.

/Stop Making Sense is also great

So THIS!!!! All I knew of The Band were the three songs EVERYONE knows. The Weight, Cripple Creek, Night They Drove Old Dixie Down. Don't know what inspired me to buy this from a local place that sold insurance salvage except it was cheap because the outer plastic was soot damaged. Fell in love on viewing. I knew it would be number 1.

Nice that the Weenerss here point out exactly what is wrong with this list (and god do I just hate these idiotic lists). Let there be Rock is a definite classic, and the fact that it is not mentioned while they have Prince, Green Day, and just WTF. You know what the funny thing is? Before even looking at it I just knew that LtbR would not be mentioned. I don't know why or how but Rolling Stone magazine has always had a thing for AC/DC. I remember back in the early 80s when they had the biggest selling concerts, top selling albums, and Rolling Stone would not even devote a small snippet to them. Specifically I remember an article that was previewing the top summer concert tours. This was to be the tour to support For Those About to Rock album, and yet RS listed bands that could "not even sell out a toilet" to quote Bruce Dickinson.

BTW I went to a midnight showing of Let There Be Rock in I think it was 1984 or 85, I was a very young then. That movie theater atmosphere turned into a freaking concert. Everyone smoking, beer freely available, people cheering, hooting and laughing. One of the best memories I had as a kid. So yes a little biased, but it doesn't change the fact that Rolling Stone magazine is still a farking douchebag of irrelevance. Go write some more about Madonna you asshats.

Ok, almost always. You'd be hard pressed to find good examples, and you'd have a very simple time finding many horrible examples.

They absolutely sucked ass 4 out of the 5 times I saw them. The "good" show was maybe 50-50 great/shiat. I never saw a great Queen show either, they always had a great stage show, but the sound tended to blow.
